https://www.pcgamer.com/the-best-z370-motherboards/ > Intel's Coffee Lake processor raises clockspeeds and core counts with a one-two punch that produced the best consumer CPU in years, but there's a caveat: a new 300 series chipset is required to use it, with no backwards compatibility with Skylake or Kaby Lake CPUs. So we're here to help you find the best Z370 motherboard for the job. > Z370 offers the same quick trouble-free building experience while delivering more horsepower and features for the dollar. In fact, 300 series boards have been surprisingly affordable given past price jumps, with the high-end pick for this guide dropping $100 from the previous edition but still offering similar performance and features. Whether this is due to competition from AMD or just Intel building goodwill after a rough year, it's a welcome change.
